Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**1. Microsoft Purview DLP** - if you're on Microsoft 365, start here and probably stop here. Native coverage across Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive and Edge, plus endpoint DLP on Windows/macOS, with no appliance to deploy. Purview Suite starts around $12/user/mo, and it's bundled into M365 E5 (~$57/user/mo) - which many teams already pay for, making it effectively free.\n\n**2. Google Workspace DLP (Enterprise tiers)** - same logic inverted. If you're a Google shop, the built-in DLP for Drive, Gmail and Chat covers the majority of realistic leak paths and costs you nothing extra beyond the Enterprise plan.\n\n**3. Nightfall AI** - the best fit if your sensitive data is scattered across SaaS and dev tools (Slack, Notion, GitHub, Jira, Salesforce) rather than on laptops. API-based, so there's no agent to push to remote machines, and its ML detectors are genuinely good at finding secrets and PII in unstructured chat/code. Quote-based pricing.\n\n**4.
